Fear Street Part Three: 1666 Review
Netflix has been dominating the horror movie scene throughout the month of July with the release of its Fear Street trilogy event. Dropping a sequel the week after the premiere of its predecessor is a gutsy move. Doing it twice in a row is particularly unheard of. And yet, probably the craziest thing they’ve done […]
Bondathon: The Spy Who Loved Me
The Spy Who Loved Me was considered one of the make-or-break films for the Bond franchise and seen by many as Roger Moore’s best. It is a film that deserves its reputation. Two submarines, one British, the other Soviet, have disappeared when they were at sea. MI6 and the KGB send their best agents to investigate, James Bond […]
Fear Street Part Two: 1978 Review
Although this weekend may be dominated by Marvel’s long-awaited Black Widow, Netflix has offered up the latest installment of their Fear Street trilogy for those who prefer frights over tights. This spooky sequel, as the followup to last week’s Part One: 1994, sheds more light on the monsters and lore that haunt the unlucky town […]

Fear Street Part One: 1994 Review
Here’s a weirdly specific film-nerd opinion: a narrative arc spread over the course of three movies is the perfect stopping point for a series. I absolutely love a satisfying trilogy. This is why I get frustrated by the Amazing Spider-Man 2’s of the world – franchises that attempt the full trilogy journey, but collapse along […]
Pop Culture Maniacs Podcast #23: Fast & Furious Franchise
Kieran Freemantle and Zack Walsh talk about the Fast & Furious franchise and the latest film from the series F9: The Fast Saga.
Freaky Review
Freaky is a horror-comedy that mashes up the slasher film with a body swap comedy. What was created was a wonderfully self-aware film that pays tribute to both genres. Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton) is a quiet and bullied high school student. She lives in the small American town of Blissfield. But Blissfield has been plagued by […]
Supernova Review
